The cooled mixture is diluted with 200 ml of water and made acidic with concentrated hydrochloric acid until pH=2. The precipitate is extracted into ethyl acetate (3×200 ml) and the combined organic extracts are washed with brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated. Recrystallization of the residue from acetone-hexane gives 0.5 g of [(6,7-dichloro-2-hydroxymethylbenzo[b]thien-5-yl)oxy]acetic acid, mp 187.5°-188.5°.
